It's time! The books are on there way, T-shirts and other fun items are in production, and I'm wrapping up a few freelancey things. It's time to push all the energy down one lane and see where it can go!

You'll notice "The Illustrated Journey" next to my watercolors in the photo above. It's a beautiful book and reminds me to constantly create, interpret, be in the moment, enjoy the journey. I'm mentioning this because the last few days I did NONE OF THIS!

I'm getting anxious but so excited about my book baby. I wanna do it right! All I can think about are the unanswered questions and all the things I have to learn in order to get my vision up and running.

But then I see views like this (outer Mission in San Francisco this past weekend) and I'm like, "Oh....yeah. I should be enjoying this. Hakuna Matata!"

So to all of you- create, be in the moment, relax, interpret, OR do none of these things! Hakuna Matata.
